The Dock to Door Coalition, led by Myra Blanco of the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, aims to revolutionize freight transportation by creating a more integrated and resilient supply chain. The coalition comprises nearly 100 organizations from various sectors, including industry, education, and government.
The coalition’s mission is to enhance data sharing, leverage connected vehicle and automation technologies, and promote carbon-neutral alternatives while supporting small businesses. A key initiative is the development of a federated supply chain platform to improve visibility and communication across the supply chain.

The coalition’s efforts focus on optimizing operations, addressing sustainability, and fostering innovation. By analyzing data and understanding regional needs, the coalition aims to support rural communities and small businesses, ensuring equitable access to supply chain benefits.
The coalition’s work also involves workforce development, preparing for future supply chain demands by creating new educational programs and business models. This integrated approach aims to improve quality of life and create better jobs and services through innovative supply chain solutions.
Myra Blanco highlights the importance of collaboration and technology in addressing supply chain disruptions and enhancing overall efficiency. The coalition’s efforts are geared toward creating a sustainable, resilient, and equitable supply chain for the future.
